PREFACE. 

For a long time wo have felt in our Mis- 
sion work the need of a largo collection of 
the oldest and most popular liymus. In 
order to supply this want we have not hesi- 
tated to draw freely on every collection ol 
hymns, whether American or Eluropeau, 
that has come to our notice, and we hereby 
express our acknowledgments to the differ- 
ent composers and publishers. May our 
united prayers go up to our God for His 
blessing upon this effort to advance His 
kingdom upon earth— and to the Father, 
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, shaU be the 
glory,

1 The STame of Jesus. €. Btl. 

1 TTOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds 
XX In a believer's ear ! 

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, 
And drives away his fear. 

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, 

And calms the troubled breast ; 
'T is manna to the hungry soul, 
And to the weary rest. 

3 Weak is the effort of my heart, 

And cold my warmest thought ; 
But when I see thee as thou art, 
I'll praise thee as I ought. 



CHORUS. 

I do believe, I now believe, 

That Jesus died for me ; 
And through his blood, his precious blood, 

I shall from sin be free.

Coronation. C. M. 



1 A LL hail the power of Jesus' name ! 
XlL Let angels prostrate fall ; 
Bring forth the royal diadem, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

2' Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget, 
The wormwood and the gall, 
Go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

3 Let every kindred, every tribe. 
On this terrestrial ball, 
To him all majesty ascribe, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

3 Cbrlst the Fonntaln. C. M. 

1 mHERE is a fountain filled with blood 

I Drawn from Immanuel's veins ; 
And sinners plunged beneath that flood 
Lose all their guilty stains. 

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 

That fountain in his day ; 
And there may I, as vile as he, 
Wash all ray sins away. 

3 Dear, dying lamb, thy precious blood 

Shall never lose its power, 
Till all the ransomed Church of God 
Be saved, to sin no more.

Tbe Cross. 



1 TTTHEN I survey the wondroiis cross, 

VV On which the Prince of Glory died, 
My richest gain I count but loss, 
And pour contempt on all my pride. 

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, 

Bave in the cross of Christ, my God; 
All the vain things that charm me most, 
I sacrifice them to thy blood. 

3 See ! from his head, his hands, his feet, 

Sorrow and love flow mingled down ; 
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet. 
Or thorns compose so rich a crown t 

i Were tiie whole realm of nature mine, 
That were a tribute far too small ; 
Love so amazing, so divine, 
Demands my soul, my life, my all. 

5 Come let ns Join. C. M. 

1 /^OME let us join our cheerful songs 
\J With angels round the throne ; 

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues 
But all their joys are one.

To be exalted thus !

1 A WAKE, my soul, in joyful lays,

praise ; 
He justly claims a song from me, 
His loving kindness, O, how free 

CHORUS. 

His loving kindness, loving kindness, 
His loving kindness, O, how free. 

2 Often I feel my sinful heart 
Prone from my Jesus to depart : 
But though I have him oft forgot, 
His loving kindness changes not. 

Oho. — His loving kindness, &c. 

3 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, 
Soon all my mortal powers must feil 
O may my last expiring breath 

His loving kindness sing in death. 

Cho. — His loving kindness, &c. 

4 Then let me mount and soar away 
To the bright world of endless day ; 
And sing, with rapture and surprise, 
ELis loving kindness in the skies. 

Oho.— Hi5 loving kindness, ifec.

The Soly Spirit. C M. 



i /^OME, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove, 
\^ With all thy quickening powers, 
Kindle a flame of sacred love 
In these cold hearts of ours. 

2 Look ! how we grovel here below, 

Fond of these trifling toys ! 
Our souls can neither fly nor go 
To reach eternal joys 

3 Dear Lord, and shall we ever live 

At this poor, dying rate — 
Our love so faint, so cold to thee, 
And thine to us so great ? 

S Desire for Holiness. O. M. 







FOR a closer walk with God, 
A calm and heavenly frame ; 
A light to shine upon the road 
That leads me to the Lamb. 



2 Where is the blessedness I knew, 

When first I saw the Lord ? 
Where is the soul-refreshing view 
Of Jesus and his word ? 

3 Return, O holy Dove ! return, 

Sweet messenger of rest ; 
I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, 
And drove Thee from mv breast.

Whate'er that idol be, 
Help me to tear it from thy throne, 
And worship only Thee. 

9 Tbe liOrd's Prayer. 

UR FATHER in heaven, we hallow 
thy name, 
May thy kingdom holy, on earth be the 

same; 
Oh ! give to us daily our portion of bread ; 
It IB from thy bounty that all must be fed. 

2 Forgive our transgressions, and teach us 

to know 
That humble compassion which pardons 

each foe ; 
Keep us from temptation, from weakness 

and sin, 
And thine be the glory forever, Amen.

1 TESUS, lover of my soul, 
tJ Let me to Thy bosom fly, 
While the raging billows roll, 

While the tempest still is high, 
Hide me, O my Saviour ! hide, 

Till the storm of life is past : 
Safe into the haven guide, 

O receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none ; 

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: 
Leave, oli ! leave me not alone ! 

Still support and comfc^rt me;* 
All my trust on Thee is stayed ; 

All my help from Thee I bring ; 
Cover my defenceless head 

With the shadow of thy wing. 

1 1 The Bleeding: Savlonr. 

1 A LAS ! and did my Saviour bleed, 
x\. And did my sovereign die; 
Did he devote that sacred head 

For such a worm as I? 

2 Thus might I hide my blushing face, 

While his dear cross appears ; 
Dissolve my heart, in thankfulness, 
And melt my eyes to tears. 

3 But floods of grief can ne'er repay 

The debt of love I owe : 
Here, Lord, I give myself away, 
'T is all that I can do. 

1 2 Christ in the Garden. 

1 TTTHILE nature was sinking in still- 
VV ness to rest, 

The last beam of daylight shone dim in 
the west. 



12 DBVOTIONAIi HYMNS, 

In deep meditation I wandered my feet, 
O'er fields by pale moonlight, in lonely 
retreat. 

2 While passing a garden I paused to hear, 
A voice faint and plaintive, from one that 

was there, 
The voice of the sufferer affected my heart. 
While pleading in anguish the poor sin- 
ner's part. 

8 I listened a moment, then turned me to see 
What man of compassion the straDger 

might be ; 
I saw him, low kneeling, upon the cold 

ground, 
The loveliest Being that ever was found. 

4 So deep were his sorrows, so fervent his 

prayers. 
That down o'er his bosom rolled sweat, 

blood and tears ! 
I wept to behold him! — I asked him his 

name: 
He answered, " 'T is Jesus I from heaven I 

came! 

5 ** I am thy Redeemer ! for thee I must die ; 
TJ'he cup is most bitter, but cannot pass by ; 
Thy sins like a mountain, are laid upon 

me! 
And all this deep anguish I suffer foi 
thee,"

Should my zeal no languor know. 
This for sin could not atone ; 
Thou must save, and thou alone : 
In my hand no price I bring, 
Simply to thy cross I cling.

Perish every fond ambition. 

All I've sought, or hop^d, or known j 
Yet how rich is my condition ! 

God and heaven are still my own. 

3 Let the world despise and leave me ; 

They have left my Saviour too ; 
Human hearts and looks deceive me, 

Thou art not, like tliem, untrue ; 
And whilst thou shall smile upon me, 

God of wisdom, love and might ! 
Foes may hate and friends disown m€^ 

Show thy face, and all is bright.

Come, disaster, scorn and pain I 
In thy service, pain is pleasure ; 
With thy favor, life is gain ;

While thy love is left to me ;

Were that joy unmLxed with thee. 

1 6 The Sabbath. 

1 XTOW sweet is the Sabbath to me, 
Xl The day when the Saviour arose I 
'T is heaven his beauties to see, 

And in his soft arms to repose ; 
He knows I am weak and defiled. 

My life is but empty and vain ; 
But if he will make me his child, 

I'll never forsake him again. 

2 This day he invites me to come : 

How kindly he bids me draw near! 
He offers me heaven for home, 

And wipes off the penitent tear ; 
He offers to pardon my sin, 

And keep me from every snare, 
To sprinkle and cleanse me within, 

And show me his tenderest care. 

3 I cannot, I must not refuse ; 

His goodness has conquered my heart 
The Lord for my portion I choose, 

And bid all my folly depart. 
How sweet is the Sabbath to me. 

The day ray Redeemer arose I 
'T is heaven his beauties to see, 

And in his soft arms to repose.

And hopes her guilt was there.

There is a beautiful world 266 

There is a fountain filled with blood 8 

There is a happy land 178 

There is a land that is fairer than day 298 

There is a place where all my hopes are 

staid 298

Whatever cross the world may bring 289 

What if our bark o'er life's rough wave.... 230 

What means this eager anxious throng 217

When marshaled on the nightly plain 78 

When my soul was distressed.... 820
